Haha the thought popped into my head and I could t resist posting... I'm MBB, ex was corporate, but had tried for consulting and not made it (MBB or otherwise) and she was very competitive too. It was not the sole or primary reason for us not working out, but it didn't help. Sometimes douches at MBB will make a visible face when introduced to a Big 4 SO (rarely, but it can happen - and is perceived by Big 4 SOs to happen even more). If recruiting is a recent memory and there's bitterness from that, it will fade over time. If either of you take a competitive approach with the other it's gonna be trouble - critical to not compare each other's progression, salary, prestige, etc. (obviously you'll both know, but conscious effort to avoid comparing them, even in your head, on both sides).

K2 ?

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?
